Jane’s Walk 2016: Learn and Share About Our Neighborhood

Join us for Jane on 6, Live6’s 2016 Jane’s Walk on Saturday, May 7 at 1pm! You’ll learn about the history of the McNichols corridor and have the opportunity to share your stories. Our goal is to collect memories and stories in order to build a living history of the Live6 Corridor.

The walk will focus on the history of the McNichols corridor at Livernois. We will be meeting at University of Detroit Mercy’s (UDM) campus at the New Entrance on McNichols. Parking is available on campus. Our route will take us through UDM’s campus, and the Fitzgerald neighborhood, down to Marygrove, and back to campus along McNichols. Be ready for several guest speakers and story tellers to share the history of several locations along our route. Some of the points of interest we will be highlighting include: University of Detroit Mercy, The Fitzgerald Neighborhood, Marygrove College, Old Sanders and Winkleman’s Storefronts, the old Varsity Theater and the old Chessmate to name a few.

For any questions, contact Samantha Szeszulski at sszeszulski@gmail.com or Julia Kowalski at kowalskij.dcdc@gmail.com.
